Email marketing remains one of the highest-ROI channels in 2026 — averaging €33 returned per €1 spent. For beginners, the key is choosing the right tool, building a permission-based list, and writing newsletters that people actually want to open.

Email Marketing for Beginners

1

Pick an email marketing tool

The first step is choosing a platform for sending email campaigns. Popular tools are Mailchimp (free up to 500 contacts), Brevo (free up to 300 emails per day) and MailerLite (free up to 1,000 subscribers). Pick the tool that fits your budget and contact volume.

2

Build a subscriber list

Your subscriber list is the foundation of email marketing. Never buy email lists — they have low open rates and can earn you a spam reputation. Instead, build a signup form on your site and offer free content (an e-book, guide, discount) in exchange for the email address.

3

Create your first newsletter

Your first newsletter should be short, useful and visually appealing. Use the templates your email marketing tool provides. Focus on a single topic — do not mix promotions, news and educational content in the same email.

4

Write compelling subject lines

The subject line is the most important element — it decides whether the recipient even opens the email. A good subject line is short (under 50 characters), creates curiosity or urgency and clearly tells the reader what they will get by opening the email.

5

Optimize for mobile devices

Over 60% of emails are opened on mobile. Your email must look perfect on a phone. Use responsive templates, a minimum 14px font size, buttons that are easy to tap and images that adapt to the screen.

6

Analyze results

Track the key metrics: open rate, click-through rate, unsubscribe rate and conversions. Average open rate is 20-25%. Analyze what works and adjust future campaigns accordingly.

FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about our services.

For most businesses, once or twice a week is the optimal frequency. Sending too often leads to unsubscribes; sending too rarely leads to being forgotten. Test different frequencies and track open and unsubscribe rates to find the right cadence for your audience.

Absolutely. Email marketing still has the best ROI of any digital marketing channel — an average of €33 returned per €1 spent. Unlike social networks where algorithms decide who sees your content, email lands directly in the recipient's inbox.

Use double opt-in for signups, avoid spam words in subject lines (FREE, URGENT), regularly clean your list of inactive contacts, use authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and make unsubscribing easy. BeoHosting email hosting supports all authentication standards.

Yes — sending from a professional email (e.g. newsletter@yourcompany.com) instead of a free one (gmail, yahoo) significantly improves deliverability and trust. BeoHosting email hosting packages let you create professional email addresses on your own domain.

Research shows Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are best for B2B email marketing, while Saturday and Sunday work better for B2C. Optimal time is between 9-11am. That said, test different days and times for your specific audience.
